The Manufacturing of Greta Thunberg – A Decade of Social Manipulation for the Corporate Capture of Nature [ACT VI – Crescendo]

"We have reached the Brave New Moment where there is no longer a distinction between our "movements" and the corporate forces that have been created to further our oppression and servitude – all in compliance to economic growth and capitalism for the worlds ruling class. All of this to be achieved on the backs of the most vulnerable – our youth."

The Manufacturing of Greta Thunberg – for Consent: The Green New Deal is the Trojan Horse for the Financialization of Nature [ACT V]

The implementation of payments for ecosystem services (the financialization and privatization of nature, global in scale) is "expected to be adopted during the fifteenth meeting in Beijing in 2020."

Reinforcing False Narratives in the Galilee Basin Coal Complex: A Double Book Review

"The best metaphor I can find for the way highly networked philanthropy works is the American football concept to 'run inference'. At the heart of offensive strategy is the use of offensive team members to create opportunities for the ball carrier to score touch downs by interfering with defending players to create an unimpeded path to the end zone."

“Clean Energy” is a Dirty Joke

"How do fundamentally economic concepts like unburnable carbon, stranded assets, and carbon budgets work for the inevitable continuation of fossil fuel extraction and the wholesale destruction of forests? How much political will for carbon capture and storage is out there and how is it expressed? How are pundits, mouthpieces or messaging agents able to use “clean energy” to mask their support for energy that is in no way clean?"

HEART OF DARKNESS

"Unlike the spontaneous resistance by students and marginalized sectors of urban society to this total bureaucratic domination in the 1960s, consumer reaction to mass murder and dispossession in the 21st Century is itself choreographed by the ruling class."

New World Order—Same Old Crimes

The NGOs and PR firms behind the social engineering used to drum up support for Wall Street’s privatization plan -- Avaaz, Havas, Purpose and 350 -- are key to saving the planet for the financial elite.... Organizing for political power requires challenging these Wall Street-funded fronts. ‘Civil society’ does not equal NGO."

FLASHBACK to 2009: The Most Important COP Briefing That No One Ever Heard | Truth, Lies, Racism & Omnicide

"Bolivia and the AOSIS called for an agreement to keep the global temperature from exceeding no more than a 1ºC rise and to reduce atmospheric CO2 to 300 ppm. In stark contrast, the corporate nongovernmental organizations (NGOs) “demanded” that temperatures not exceed a +2ºC rise and further “demanded” that world emissions peak within 8 years (meaning that emissions would continue to increase, business as usual, for a further 8 years, at which point we would begin an effort to decrease). "

Revealed: The Day Obama Instructed the Big Greens to Keep Silent on Climate Change

"My most vivid memory of that meeting is this idea that you can't talk about climate change," said Jessy Tolkan, who at the time was a leader of the climate youth movement, Power Shift.

Game Over For The Climate?

In the 1980s, big business openly declared war on the green movement which it perceived as a genuine threat to power and profit. By a process of carefully limited corporate media 'inclusion', the honesty, vitality and truth of environmentalism have been corralled, contained, trivialised and stifled. Today, even as environmental problems have lurched from bad to worse, the green movement has virtually ceased to exist. The lessons are obvious. Corporate media 'inclusion' of dissent hands influence and control to the very forces seeking to disempower dissent. No-one should be surprised by the results.
